Sporting Alexandria were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage this time round.

Mozambican side Ferroviário de Maputo won their third title after defeating Al Ahly of Egypt 81–72 in the final.[4]

Name change

On 25 March 2024, the name was tweaked and is now called the Women's Basketball League Africa.[5]

Hosting rights

Originally, Morocco was given the hosting rights, however, on 22 October 2024, Senegal received the hosting rights instead.[3] This is Senegal's fifth time hosting and first since 1999.

Qualification

Twelve teams qualified for the main tournament, up from 10 from the previous editions. The top 2 from each zone qualified while the remaining spots would be given out by FIBA Africa. Those spots were given to FAP, Nigeria Customs and APR.[6] Although, before the tournament started, Nigeria Customs withdrew. Their spot was given to Jeanne D'Arc.[7]
